Note
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The ICBM Fuze program replaces the Mk21 (W87) fuze. The Mk21 replacement project scope includes the design and development of a form, fit, function replacement
fuze associated with the legacy W87 warhead. The legacy Mk21 fuze is three times past its design life and ongoing Mk21 refurbishment does not meet Nuclear Weapon
Stockpile Plan requirements.
The United States Air Force (USAF) will develop the Mk21 fuze in cooperation with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), US Navy (USN) and United
Kingdom. The ICBM Fuze program will leverage technologies, parts, components and development/production capabilities resulting from extensive fuze work performed
by the USN and NNSA. The ICBM Fuze program will also develop associated Minuteman III weapon system modifications, support equipment, data, flight test
hardware, and training. It will also conduct required system testing (including ground and flight tests) and fielding efforts. The program coordinates USAF Mk21 Fuze
replacement development efforts to synchronize USAF arming and fuzing and Department of Energy (DOE) warhead requirements. When prudent, the ICBM Fuze
Modernization program will conduct trade studies and initiate conceptual designs to address operational system issues and meet future requirements.
As a cooperative USAF, USN and NNSA weapon sustainment acquisition, the USAF will implement joint Department of Defense (DoD)-DOE Nuclear Weapons Life
Cycle Activities. The ICBM Fuze Modernization program will be tailored to use joint DoD-DOE phase 6.X processes for routine nuclear stockpile activities to align with
USN and NNSA operations.
In FY15, the ICBM Fuze Modernization program was rebaselined due to fiscal constraints. The Mk21 (W87) Fuze Replacement design and development efforts were
extended to shift the First Production Unit (FPU) delivery from FY19 to FY22. In addition, previous plans to integrate and test the Mk21 fuze replacement with the NNSA
W78/88-1 Life Extension Program (LEP) warhead have been deferred beyond the Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP).
This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B equivalent approval and is conducting
engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2013 funding reflects a decrease of $0.098M due to Congressional reductions, $2.005M due to SBIR transfer, and a decrease of $6.039M due to
sequestration.
FY 2014 funding reflects a decrease of $11.000M due to Congressional reductions.
FY 2015 funding reflects a decrease of $155.010 due to program restructure delaying Mk21 replacement fuze FPU to FY22 consistent with related NNSA and
USN efforts, and deferring the NNSA W78/88-1 LEP warhead beyond the FYDP.

Remarks
Other Program Funding Summary reflects equipment buys in FY15-19 will address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) that will
enable the ICBM Fuze Modernization program to continue leveraging from the Navy's design, development and production activities.
E. Acquisition Strategy
The Mk21 fuze will be modernized in a collaborative effort with the US Navy Mk5 fuze reducing total program cost and development time by leveraging potential
compatibility and commonality of ICBM and Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile warheads and fuze components. The US Navy Mk5 fuze will be developed first,
followed by Mk21. The US Navy Mk5 fuze entered Phase 6.3 Development Engineering in Aug 2012. USAF Mk21 fuze entered Phase 6.3 in Aug 2013. Both Services
participate in all design and development efforts to ensure use of adaptable components, subassemblies and technology. Both services will use NNSA/SNL to perform
fuze design and development. The USAF will separately compete and contract for MM III unique missile modification and fuze integration efforts utilizing a combination
of the Integration Support Contract (ISC) for SETA and the Reentry System/Reentry Vehicle Integration Contract for weapons system integration. Both services will use
Kansas City Production Plant (KCPP) to perform production and sustainment.
F. Performance Metrics
Please refer to the Performance Base Budget Overview Book for information on how Air Force resources are applied and how those resources are contributing to Air
Force performance goals and most importantly, how they contribute to our mission.
